The Atkinson Law difference is found in every facet of our work with our clients — from the knowledge, efficiency and benefits of our extensive experience in Nevada bankruptcy filings, to the fact that we are with our client ever step of the way. Led by Robert Atkinson, our team is standing by to learn more about your unique situation.

Mr. Atkinson has employed as general counsel for six bankruptcy trustees in approximately 150 bankruptcy cases and also in over 100 adversary proceedings. On behalf of those trustees, he assisted in the administration of over $120 million in scheduled assets, including the disposition and recovery of approximately $11 million in liquidated funds made available to creditors, much of which arose from complicated situations involving recoveries of fraudulent transfers and/or difficult-to-liquidate assets. Through that experience, he has gained considerable knowledge in how to maximize exemptions, avoid non-dischargeability actions, and ensure high-quality filings that greatly enhance the probability of making your bankruptcy smooth and simple.

In addition, Mr. Atkinson has a significant business, accounting, and real estate background. He is completely comfortable and competent in analyzing and handling whatever complexities your life may have.

In an earlier part of his career, he was a physicist at NASA, conducting research at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
